At high noon 1 nesday the canon?
from Fort Reno sounded down thtf
long line of Homers on the 98,tf*
meridati and in an instant twenty'
thousand people made the dash inti/
the long covcteil Cheyenne andA-
rapahoe country. Trains on the1
Rock Island and Choctaw Railroad*
heavily laden with Boomers atnf

under way. Then began the race

For three minutes or more horsd

west, trains disapeard and could lm
seen no more. All at once the wild
unsettled reigon of 4,000,000 acre
had been transfured from the land
of the aboriganees and was claimed
by the progressive Aryan who hat*
centurvs ago set the star of

every advantage now claimed the
larger part of the civilised world/
Sight-seers from the far corners of
the globe were here to see the sight,
known only to Oklahoma and 31 fen'j
amply pair! for their time and tnone\-
:ponded in seeing it. To day tlirf
map of Oklahoma has been changed'
and 50,000 inhabitants added to hor
population.
